KNN Classification for the Face Spoof Detection[ ]


Current face spoof detection systems are vulnerable to various spoofing attacks. A spoofing attack occurs when one person tries to façade someone else by misusing and falsifying the data to gain unauthorized access to the system. Face spoof detection has now attracted huge attention with the aim of assuring reliability of face biometrics system. There is a possibility that some exceptional disturbances are available like geometric disturbances and the artificial texture disturbances. The camera and the illumination subordinates are mostly responsible for such disturbances. A perfect camera with no defects should be used just to notice the difference between the geometric, the illumination and the texture based disturbances. The face spoof detection techniques are based on two steps; the first step is of feature extraction and second is classification. We present a novel approach based on extracting Eigen features with LBP and using KNN classifier for the classification process as opposed to already existing technique using SVM classier. Experimental analysis showed excellent results compared to existing technique. Comparisons are made to analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm and the existing algorithm in terms of accuracy and time of execution.

Automated Region Extraction and License Plate Detection using Deep Learning[ ]


This paper proposes a robust system to recognize vehicle license plate by Deep Learning. Achieving good recognition results for license plates is challenging due to multiple adverse factors. A new License Plate Detection method for challenging environment is proposed. Normally Background clutters are common in road scenes and license plate detection is considered as difficult problem. To address this problem, a two-step approach is developed in which first the car is detected by removing the background clutters and then localizing the license plate in each vehicle region. To be precise, faster region based convolutional neural network algorithm for vehicle region detection is adopted and license plates are generated using hierarchical sampling method. Finally the result is filters out by deep convolutional neural network.

Performance Analysis of Fractional order Multi-Modulus Algorithms for Channel Equalization[ ]


In this research work we comparing the performance with the family of blind equalization. These algorithms are CMA, Godard and FrCMA using adaptive filters. We are varying the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), convergence factor (step size) µ relatively in different algorithms. The MATLAB tool results exhibits that different algorithms perform different with the same transmitted bits along with noisy environment all algorithms. In blind algorithms no pilot transmitted signal required. There are some difficulties also occur like complexity of the system and cost function. Similarly, the benefit like reduction of the SNR, Intersymbol interference(ISI) and fast convergence also achieved in simulation results. The fractional order MMA algorithms generate improved results which is used in 5G networks, code is general and inevitable need of the current era. The Fractional order Constant Modulus algorithms give improved results like fast convergence as well as steady state condition. FrCMA algorithms is a new approach for practical, general application of the data and wireless communication.
